EuroLoop: World’s largest test facility for hydrocarbons and gas, as from 2009 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Main offshore testing activities - Mooring systems - Riser behaviour - Dynamic Positioning - Dredging equipment in waves - Floating civil works - Towing of structures - Launching of jackets and SPARS - Wave run-up problems at fixed structures - Downtime analysis and impact loading (slamming and greenwater) - Human comfort Deepwater Offshore Basin The Deepwater Offshore Basin reflects the industry’ move into deeper waters beyond the continental shelf. It features realistic modelling of wind, waves and current in water depths of 10.5 m. Unique features are a current system with stable adjustable vertical current profiles over the 10.5 m water depth and an additional deep pit (30 m total) for ultra deep water modelling up to 3,000 m depth. Computer Simulation Tools In the offshore field a wide range of computer simulation tools is available. The DYNFLOAT package provides coupled mooring analysis for floating structures and their riser/mooring systems. With the TERMSIM program jetty, single point- and multi buoy-moorings can be efficiently analysed. DPSIM and DPSEMI are MARIN’s tools for evaluating Dynamic Positioning. LIFSIM, which predicts the motions of more coupled structures, provides complete support of lifting and installation projects.

NMi is an independent, internationally recognised institute for metrology and technology. The main activities are testing, certification and calibration of measuring instruments and weighing equipment. Innovation of our primary standards, test methods and services is the basis to improve accuracy and shorten test times. In addition NMi offers training and consultancy in the fields of industrial and legal metrology. This will provide you the knowledge to improve metering facilities and will give you the abilities to shorten the time to market for your newly designed instruments. Your measurement accuracy and metering reliability is our interest, not only upon installation of your meter or test facility, but also after years of operation. To this end we develop maintainable metrology concepts, like remote calibration, which will allow you to keep metering instrumentation and calibration facilities accurate at affordable costs. NMi’s services include: - Calibration of meters and test facilities, which will allow you to prove the correctness and reliability of your measurement results. - Type examination, verifications and design examination, which will allow you to demonstrate conformity with legislation, regulations, OIML, ISO, EN and other standards and requirements set by the buyer of the instruments. - Training Centre for metrology, which will allow you to improve your metering processes. NMi is your partner for reliable measurement results and the best route to market for measuring instruments.
